"The Most Severe Among Them Was Kim Nam-guk"

Democratic Party lawmaker Yang Yi-won-young compared Rep. Kim Nam-guk's criticism of coin speculation to an "unconditional attack on multi-homeowners," prompting People Power Party lawmaker Kim Woong to retort that "those who unconditionally attacked multi-homeowners were not the people, but the Democratic Party."


On the 25th, Rep. Kim posted on his social media, "The harshest among them was Kim Nam-guk himself," and challenged, "Try to find out who said on July 7, 2020, 'Multi-homeowners should be beaten so badly that people wonder if they are North Korea,' and then speak."

On the previous day, Rep. Yang Yi-won-young said on CBS's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show,' "But in the past, we failed to properly distinguish between speculation and investment in real estate, and unconditionally attacked people who owned multiple houses, as if they were highly immoral. However, this was a failure of our real estate policy, not a problem with the owners themselves. Attacking them like that is a different issue," adding, "Similarly, this case is about the National Assembly's failure to properly regulate the coin industry legally."



However, Rep. Kim said, "The criticism of Rep. Kim Nam-guk is not because he invested in coins, but because despite various suspicions such as initial investment fund allegations, insider information use, and lobbying suspicions, he broke his promise to disclose transaction details and disappeared," and added, "For example, the criticism is not about being a multi-homeowner, but about circumstances such as 'organizing groups at speculative real estate offices to buy adjacent land to development sites under family names by subdividing it like termites gnawing at wood, aiming for land hoarding'."
